How to Pick a College when You Haven’t Picked a Major

Are you ready to start your recruiting process, but have no idea what you want to in? How are you supposed to commit to a school if you're still unsure?

We've put together 3 helpful tips and hints to help you navigate this process:

  1. Go to a school that lets you keep your options open: picking a school with a variety of degree programs will ensure that you aren't stuck somewhere without programs that you're interested in
  2. Know that it's okay to not know: many athletes start undecided, or change their majors many times along the way
  3. Enroll as Undecided: this gives you a year to take classes, explore your options, and get settled into your sport before you decide on a major
